American Balanced Fund F-3

This fund adopts a balanced investment philosophy, strategically allocating capital across a diverse array of financial instruments. Its holdings typically encompass common equities and high-quality corporate debt. Furthermore, the portfolio includes fixed-income securities guaranteed or issued by the United States government, as well as its federal agencies and related entities. A portion of the fund's assets may also be directed towards international markets, investing in foreign common stocks (many of which are consistent dividend payers), along with bonds and other types of securities from non-U.S. issuers.
